Snuff Tablet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown rectangular object, taller than wide, with a recessed rectangular area on the bottom half. Top half features a raised design with a dark brown animal, resembling a dog or bear, sitting on its haunches, with pointed ears and a white eye. The animal sits within a square frame with geometric patterns on the right side. Below the animal, a decorative lattice pattern encircles the top of the recessed area. The object is set against a dark background that transitions from black at the top to grey at the bottom, with a shadow cast to the right. The object is a Snuff Tablet by unknown artist.
